Usage

Adding Gateway Language Quote Columns

Convert original language quotes to Gateway Language quotes by adding new columns:

import { addGLQuoteCols } from 'tsv-quote-converters';

const params = {
  // Required parameters
  bibleLinks: ['unfoldingWord/en_ult/master'],  // Array of Bible repos to use
  bookCode: 'eph',                              // Bible book code (e.g., 'eph', 'gen')
  tsvContent: yourTsvString,                    // TSV content with 'Quote' column

  // Optional parameters
  trySeparatorsAndOccurrences: true,           // Try different quote separators
  quiet: false,                                // Show console output
  usePreviousGLQuotes: true,                   // Skip if GLQuote/GLOccurrence already exist
};

const result = await addGLQuoteCols(params);
console.log(result.output);  // Modified TSV with new GLQuote/GLOccurrence columns
console.log(result.errors);  // Array of any errors encountered

Converting Gateway Language Quotes to Original Language

Convert Gateway Language quotes in the Quote column back to original language:

import { convertGLQuotes2OLQuotes } from 'tsv-quote-converters';

const params = {
  // Required parameters
  bibleLinks: ['unfoldingWord/en_ult/master'],  // Bible used for current quotes
  bookCode: 'eph',                              // Bible book code
  tsvContent: yourTsvString,                    // TSV content with GL quotes

  // Optional parameters
  trySeparatorsAndOccurrences: true,           // Try different quote separators
  quiet: false,                                // Show console output
};

const result = await convertGLQuotes2OLQuotes(params);
console.log(result.output);  // Modified TSV with original language quotes
console.log(result.errors);  // Array of any errors encountered
